BUZZ-Street View: SLB's buyback pause may weigh on stock

Reuters04-22

** Top U.S. oilfield services firm SLB reported Q1 results last week that were in line with Wall Street estimates

** However, Q1 core profit came in at $2.06 bln, missing expectations of $2.07 bln - LSEG data; shares closed 2.1% lower on Friday at over one-month low of $49.85

NORTH AMERICA WEAKNESS WEIGHS

** J.P. Morgan ("overweight") cuts PT to $64 from $65, says SLB reiterated its 2024 global revenue outlook despite softening activity in North America associated with weak natgas prices and Aramco suspending ~20 jackup contracts for 2024, which would be offset by additions in onshore gas activity

** TD Cowen ("buy 1") cuts PT to $63 from $64, highlights concerns of maturing upstream spending being an overhang on stock

** "SLB's pending acquisition of CHX (ChampionX) will temporarily pause SLB's repurchase activity, until CHX's shareholder vote, suggesting a significant acceleration in buybacks in H2 2024"

** Citigroup (PT $65, "buy"): Says "SLB slumped on Friday due to a disbelief that full-year guidance was still reasonable, despite their mid-teens EBITDA growth guide"

** "While a resumption of the buyback during 2H post the CHX shareholder vote should be helpful, an end to the estimate trims appears most important for the SLB investment narrative"
